The Daily Mail is a digital-only publication in Australia, they have a big newsroom there, Australian journalists, and an Australian-facing website. In the same way the Guardian has a US office and website but only publishes the paper in the UK.

Sarah Haskins nailed this years ago. “Yogurt is the official food of women.”

Your absurd comment seems like a justification to ban men from all aspects of public life, lest they creep on women, not to ban transgender people from the appropriate bathroom.

I love and miss the ease with which Australians use cunt as a term of vulgar endearment. “What a sick cunt” being the highest form of praise at my Aussie school. #memories

While I don’t hold these girls responsible, I share your extreme frustration with women’s clothes stores, especially the ones claiming to do ‘workwear’, trying to sell us crop tops and other sexxxy crap.

Yeah the shirt and shorts double standard is bad form on the school’s part, and worth protesting. But why focus on the “right” to wear crop tops? Am guessing the boys aren’t going topless. It just seems a weird and pointless focus for the campaign.

Right? Maybe I am an Old but I’m on the school’s side on this one. A sliver of midriff is one thing but asking students of both genders to wear shirts is hardly a draconian rule.

Oh no! That would make things hard.

I’m an ex-vegetarian too and am similarly shocked by the price of meat pretty much every time I buy it, especially because I try to buy the free-range/organic stuff. I honestly don’t understand how most people afford to cook with it every day, it really adds up.

Beans and legumes are so goddamn cheap I don’t know why more people don’t cook with them. Switching out meat a few nights a week to make chile, soups, salads or curries with garbanzo beans, black beans or lentils is both good for you, filling and saves so much money - especially if you soak your own.

They look amazing don’t they? So pretty. Have never been stung myself but have seen others - looks so painful, all wrapped around your arm or leg like a spider web.

Yes. This should be corrected. It’s like telling people to be wary of polar bears in New York.

The writer must be confused about the box jellyfish thing - they don’t come anywhere near Sydney and Manly, they live in the tropics much further north. They pose zero threat that far south and if they did arrive in Sydney it would mean the end of the city’s beach culture as we know it. Just not true.

This.

She went to elementary school in New Zealand. Can’t be her.

Fuck Letterman. He gets hot women on his show, ogles them, asks them silly questions and then acts all superior when they give silly answers. It’s a cheap trick.

Please no. The second one was such a spectacular failure that sucked away so much goodwill and nostalgia many of us feel for the show (the early seasons at least). The only good thing about it was the ball-tearing scathing reviews it provoked, like this one from Helen Razer, which described it as a “feminism snuff…

Thanks for highlighting this story. Tipping super well is a stop-gap measure which should of course be a baseline for anyone who continues to use these services. But what is needed here surely is pressure for a wide-scale crackdown on labor practices and punishing of bosses to ensure they pay at least a minimum wage…

Shireen! Oh god. The red woman better stay away from her.

Was that just a pithy reference for the audience’s enjoyment or are we supposed to read into it more - like she has some connection to Ygritte or can see into the past in some way? I wasn’t sure.
